How Celtic-bound Ross Doohan and Anthony Ralston fared in emphatic Scotland win

Anthony Ralston and incoming Celtic goalkeeper Ross Doohan each started as Scotland defeated Liechtenstein by four goals to nil in Vaduz this evening. 

The right-back played until the 48th minute and played his part in George Hirst's first strike for the national team, playing a fine first-time ball into the box that Che Adams flicked on to the Ipswich Town forward. 

Between the sticks, Doohan had little to do. The goalkeeper could have easily played the game on a deckchair, given the number of forays forwards Liechtenstein had.

It is understood that Doohan has agreed to rejoin Celtic this summer, replacing Scott Bain as the Scottish Premiership champions' third-choice keeper. 

Steve Clarke revealed what he told Doohan before he made his Scotland debut this evening: "Go out and do what you do and be the goalkeeper you are, that's all you can say," revealed the national team boss [BBC Scotland]. 

Scotland now turn their attention to World Cup qualifiers, which kick off in September with a trip to Copenhagen to take on Denmark. 

Kieran Tierney, who has agreed a pre-contract to return to Celtic this summer, was absent from the Liechtenstein victory, alongside Scott McTominay: "Scott [McTominay] and Kieran both came into camp carrying some little issues over from the season," said Clarke. 

"So I think if we had a longer turnaround between the games, they might have had a chance, but listen, it’s the end of the season for those two.

“The most important thing is to have a good rest over the summer and come back flying in the autumn.”
